Emily está convencida de que va a convertirse en una escritora de éxito. Pero sabe que para ello necesita tener cerca al que ha sido su amor desde la infancia, Teddy Kent. Cree que su amor va a durar eternamente y que juntos van a ser capaces de todo lo que se propongan. Sin embargo, cuando Teddy decide marcharse a Montreal sin ella, para hacer realidad su sueño de ser artista, el mundo de Emily se hace añicos. Sin Teddy, Emily debe volver a plantearse sus ilusiones y sus deseos. Refugiada en sus libros y escritos, tendrá que aprender cuál es la verdadera vida de una escritora. Emily has returned to New Moon to live with her aunts as she pursues her goal of becoming an author. Through successes and failures her love of New Moon never fades but her relationships with her childhood friends continue to evolve as they all become adults. At the same time, Emily also strives to determine just who the best partner for her future life might be. There's plenty of charm as always in L.M. Montgomery's writing as she so beautifully paints word pictures of the PEI landscape. She also brilliantly evokes the highs and lows of Emily's life and knowing that Montgomery herself struggled with depression makes her descriptions of Emily's own low moments particularly realistic. At the same time, Montgomery will always give her characters a happy ending and while this novel's ending felt a bit rushed and not quite as satisfying as I could have hoped, it still leaves Emily in the best place. Emily continues her quest for the fairy gold of life and finds that it is harder to come by than in her dreams. I love this book because Emily doesn't get an easy happy ending. It also frustrates me every time I read it. Montgomery sums it up herself: "The Murray pride," whispered Mrs. Kent, staring at her. "After all, Emily Starr, I believe pride is a stronger passion with you than love." And that is Emily in a nutshell. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

HTML: "I love Emily." â??Madeleine L'Engle Will Emily's Dreams Ever Come True? High school is over and Emily Starr is ready to find her destiny...but she's not quite ready to leave the safety of New Moon farm. She knows that she doesn't need New York City or some other exotic locale to help her become a famous writer. But as all of Emily's friends begin moving away to pursue their own aspirations in exciting places, she wonders if she's made the right choice. After suffering through a devastating illness, receiving rejection notices from multiple publishers, and nearly losing Teddy, her childhood sweetheart, Emily realizes that her quest for love, acceptance, and happiness is far from over. This new edition lovingly restores the original, unabridged text and includes an all-new, exclusive introduction with special memories from L.M. Montgomery's granddaughter. What Readers Are Saying: "Emily's Quest is my favorite of the Emily books (probably of all her books), and a wonderful real for any romantic like me." "Wonderful. As with all the Montgomery books, the beauty of the world captures you. Emily's Quest is a brilliant end to a most charming series of books." "Emily's Quest is truly a wonderful ending to one of the best stories ever written." No library descriptions found. |
